    Grazia is always busy and you know why when you dine and feel like you’ve had a special dining experience. Grazia staff welcome you on arrival, the service is polite, professional, they know their menu well. The meals are absolutely delicious, with a great selection; from pizza to pasta and even chips as “man salad”! The menu has something for everyone. Despite being busy we did not feel like we were on top of other guests/tables. Highly recommend a dinner or lunch at Grazia and you’ll be looking forward to your return to try something else on their menu.
